Exchange with experts, founders, researchers and entrepreneurs at the Gigabit Academy launched by BMF & FFG.
5G is the new generation in mobile communications and creates the technological basis for new customer experiences such as augmented reality games, digital or interactive learning, efficient networking of machines in industry and intelligent devices as well as innovative IT services. The much-cited Smart City also benefits from the 5G standard. Austria is well on its way; 5G will be available nationwide by 2025.
Neue Ökosysteme entstehen
In order to fully exploit the opportunities of
5G, new cooperation models and innovation
systems are needed. This is where the Gigabit
Academy comes in: It brings together
everyone who is interested in developing
gigabit and 5G use cases. With the Gigabit
Academy, the Austrian Ministry of Finance
(BMF) and the Austrian Research Promotion
Agency FFG not only offer two days full of
exclusive insights into the world of gigabit
and 5G applications. The Gigabit Academy
sees itself as a knowledge platform, an information
and ideas laboratory that brings
together companies, organisations, scientific
institutions and interested individuals.
Going by the motto “Explore - Connect -
Cooperate - Innovate”, it’s goal is to launch
new approaches and concretise existing
ideas. This idea lab, where participants
come together to develop solutions for gigabit
and 5G applications, is the main event of
the Gigabit Academy 23 from 21–22 November
in Vienna. In terms of new cooperation
approaches, this will lay the foundation for
a whole new 5G ecosystem from which different
stakeholders can benefit – and ultimately
the whole of society.
The focus of the GigaLab is on networking
with the international gigabit community
and the joint development of ideas for
applications that require gigabit-capable infrastructure
and connectivity. GigaLab participants
will therefore explore different
ways to develop digital innovations inspired
by a very specific motto: “Driving digital innovation
through gigabit connectivity”.
